Is the HCG diet safe?
Just got invited to a seminar about the HCG diet, but when I went to read more it said it involved a daily shot of Human Choriogonadotropin accompanied by a 500 calorie diet. I'm no dummy but wouldn't a 500 calorie diet make you lose weight all by itself? (and make you really mean?)
